2023: Jennifer Howard ‘10
A survivor of Hodgkin’s lymphoma, Jennifer Howard graduated from Chatham Hall in 2010 after participating in riding, volleyball, Spiritual Life, Bit ‘n Spur, and the Gold Team. After graduation, she taught riding in Bermuda, including working with students with disabilities, before starting an undergraduate degree at Brock University in Canada, where she graduated with honors in Child and Youth Studies. After receiving both the Bermuda Hospitals Board Scholarship and St. John’s Trust Scholarship, she then traveled abroad to attend the University of Kent in the United Kingdom to study analysis and intervention in intellectual and developmental disabilities. She also earned a Master of Science at Birmingham City University.
After graduating and returning to Bermuda, Howard began her career at the Mid-Atlantic Wellness Institute, the only psychiatric hospital in Bermuda, where she spent five years as an assistant psychologist. There, she completed a research project about reducing the use of antipsychotic medications for behavior management, which is currently being submitted to the Journal of Positive Behavior Support. Most recently, Howard became the administrator of the K. Margaret Carter Center, a day program facility to help adults with disabilities, mental health conditions, and traumatic brain injuries increase their independence and learn functional and life skills.
In fall 2022, she was named Big Sister of the Year by Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bermuda. Howard has also formed a charity, Carter House, to fundraise for vulnerable adults to help cover the costs of medical equipment or services, and was named Bermuda’s equestrian coach for the 2023 Berlin Special Olympics in June 2023.
